"Looks like Kofi "monkey-man" Annan's UN is stuck in a quagmire itself. Why must we read this from a conservative Canadian newspaper?"

Because the major media have already determined that the Clinton/Clark war was a "success," and are reluctant to revise their thinking based on the facts of the situation. I think it is arguable that the situation in Iraq is closer to a long-term, permanent political solution than is the situation in Kosovo. The war in Kosovo did not even address the political problem, much less provide a political solution. It was a sop to Islamic militants, so is it surprising that it is Islamic militants who are beginning to coalesce there?

It's time for Hillary to visit Kosovo for the holidays.

"I think it is arguable that the situation in Iraq is closer to a long-term, permanent political solution than is the situation in Kosovo."

Neither will ever have a long term permanent political solution. You could get rid of the Albanians in Kosovo and the Muslims in Iraq. That would settle the situation down but that ain't gonna happen.
